Realistically it's more effective than a guitar.  The guitar is heavier and takes a greater amount of force to swing around.  You'd get tired very easily.  Not to mention the way the weight is distributed, a guitar is very unwieldy, and probably not as accurate as the skillet.  Plus, a guitar is bound to get smashed and broken being used to hit all those zombies, and the neck is liable to snap.  If it's acoustic, it's hollow, and then you have to take the greater amount of wind resistance into consideration, and the fact that it will break even easier. Getting hit with the wooden/fiberglass body of a guitar also wouldn't hurt much in comparison to other weapons.

Lots of skillets are made in one piece, which means the likelihood that one will break in a fight is pretty low. The skillet is also a good size for swinging around, so you'd probably be able to do more damage with it and your accuracy would increase.  Plus it's easier to carry around.  One advantage of the guitar is that it has a greater reach, but the skillet is sturdier and more reliable. 

I would rather be armed with a skillet than a guitar in a real fight.  Now, if I had the choice between a skillet and, let's say, a small chainsaw, I'd rather use the chainsaw... until it ran out of fuel.  But, in the unlikely event we were dealing with real zombies, I'd actually prefer not use a melee weapon.  I would assume it would be about using ranged weapons when you must and staying under the radar and running the fuck away otherwise.
